NO NEED TO CROUCH....


Four years ago Peter Crouch was about to move to Aston Villa from Portsmouth. A move that did little for his career. Back then you would have been pelted with enough tranquilizer darts to take down a rhino and taken to the funny farm for a frontal lobotomy for even suggesting that Crouchy would get anywhere near the England squad. But, this summer, the nation's hopes may rest on Crouchy aka G.T.F.A.B.M. (Good Touch for a Big Man). I don't know what it is about the country's perception of tall players? Was Niall Quinn considered a gangling donkey? No, just gangling. What about the Czech Republic's Jan Koller, who has 42 goals in 68 caps, very good for a big man, or any man for that matter. Althouth it must be Hell buying trousers.

NB Presentation is still on for 17th June at the Rising Sun, Warsash.

It is hell buying trousers, but myself and the lads shop at high and mighty in town, the number of time Jan and i have bumped into one another in there! i've simply lost count.

You all know but BBQ, 1st July, be there for 1pm, so we can eat a little earlier and watch the food.

Good luck to crouchey, hope he scores some goals in the group stages so we can try and forget about Rooney!

Bring on Saturday!
